NOTE : The current order of the Triple Crown – the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont – has remained in place since 1931. On 11 occasions, the Preakness was run prior to the Kentucky Derby, and twice – 1917 and 1922 – both were run on the same day. On 11 occasions, the Belmont was run prior to the Preakness, and both races were run on the same card at Morris Park in 1890. The first Triple Crown winner Sir Barton captured the Kentucky Derby on May 10 and the Preakness four days later on May 14. He won the Belmont on June 11.

TRIPLE CROWN NOTES

• The Triple Crown is a three-race series comprised of the $2 million Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands at 1 ¼ miles on the first Saturday in May at Churchill Downs; the $1.5 million Preakness Stakes, run over 1 3/16 miles two weeks later at ’s Pimlico Race Course; and the $1.5 million Belmont Stakes, run over 1 ½ miles three weeks after the Preakness at New York’s Belmont Park. • Only 12 3-year-old Thoroughbreds – all colts – have won the Triple Crown, starting with Sir Barton in 1919. • The phrase “Triple Crown” was not associated with the three-race series until 1930, when Daily Racing Form writer Charles Hatton coined it in describing the sweep of the races by Gallant Fox. • The Belmont Stakes, first run in 1867, is the oldest of the Triple Crown races. The Preakness, first run in 1873 is next, and the Kentucky Derby was first run in 1875. The Derby, however, has never missed a year in the 140 years since and is America’s oldest continuously-held sports event. • The current order of the Triple Crown – the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont – has remained in place since 1931. On 11 occasions, the Preakness was run prior to the Kentucky Derby, and twice – 1917 and 1922 – both were run on the same day. On 11 occasions, the Belmont was run prior to the Preakness, and both races were run on the same card at Morris Park in 1890. • Triple Crown winners have come in bunches: three in the 1930s (Gallant Fox in 1930, Omaha in 1935 and War Admiral in 1937), four in the 1940s (Whirlaway in 1941, Count Fleet in 1943, Assault in 1946 and Citation in 1948) and three in the 1970s (Secretariat in 1973, Seattle Slew in 1977 and Affirmed in 1978). • When American Pharoah won the 2015 Triple Crown, it snapped a 37-years drought since Affirmed swept the series in 1978 – the longest stretch without a Triple Crown winner since the 25 years that separated the 1948 Triple Crown sweep by Citation and the 1973 Triple Crown won by Secretariat. • Twenty-three have won both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness but did not win the Belmont Stakes. The most recent was California Chrome in 2014, who finished in a dead-heat for fourth in the Belmont Stakes. • Eleven horses have won the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes, but failed to win the Preakness Stakes. The most recent was Thunder Gulch in 1995. • Eighteen horses have won the Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes, but failed to win the Kentucky Derby. The most recent was Afleet Alex in 2005. • The back-to-back Triple Crown triumphs by Seattle Slew in 1977 and Affirmed in 1978 were the only Triple Crown sweeps in successive years. • Gallant Fox (1930) is the only winner to sire a Triple Crown winner: Omaha (1935). • Seattle Slew (1977) is the only unbeaten winner of the Triple Crown. His victory in the Belmont Stakes was his ninth win without a loss, but he was defeated in his first post-Triple Crown race. • Sir Barton, winner of the first Triple Crown in 1919, was winless in his first six races and was entered in the Kentucky Derby to set the pace for a stablemate. But he won the Derby, then became the first to follow with wins in the Preakness and Belmont Stakes. • Although only 12 horses have won the Triple Crown, Belair Stud (Gallant Fox, Omaha) and Calumet Farm (Whirlaway and Citation) owned and bred two winners each. • Calumet Farm leads all owners with 18 Triple Crown wins: Kentucky Derby (8 wins), Preakness (8) and Belmont (2). • Calumet Farm leads all breeders with 18 Triple Crown wins: Kentucky Derby (9 wins), Preakness (7) and Belmont (2). • 10 of the 12 Triple Crown winners were bred by their owners. Only Sir Barton (1919) and Seattle Slew (1977) were bred by someone other than their owners. • Assault (1946) was owned and bred by Texas’ famed King Ranch and is the only Triple Crown winner bred in the Lone Star State. • Hall of Fame jockey Eddie Arcaro – who won a record-tying five Kentucky Derbies – is the only person to ride two Triple Crown winners. He was aboard Calumet Farm’s Whirlaway and Citation for their wins in the Derby and their Triple Crown sweeps. • Eddie Arcaro leads all jockeys with 17 Triple Crown wins: Kentucky Derby (5 wins), Preakness (6) and Belmont (6). • Steve Cauthen, who was 18 when he piloted Affirmed to victory in the Kentucky Derby, is the youngest jockey to rider the winner of a Triple Crown. • Hall of Famer James “Sunny Jim” Fitzsimmons is the only person to have trained two Triple Crown winners. He saddled Gallant Fox (1930) and Omaha (1935) to complete the sweep in their 3-year-old seasons for Bel Air Stud. • Although Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas has not won a Triple Crown, he has trained a record 14 winners of Triple Crown races: Kentucky Derby (4 wins), Preakness (6) and Belmont (4). • The winner of the Kentucky Derby receives roses, the Preakness winner gets black-eyed susans and the Belmont Stakes winner is presented with roses. • The trophy that goes to a horse that wins a Triple Crown was formally a three-sided vase with each equal side representing a jewel of the Triple Crown. It was first commissioned in 1950 and created by artisans at Cartier Jewelry Company. The trophy awarded to American Pharoah in 2015 was the last of its kind. A new trophy was commissioned in 2016 and resides at Belmont Park. HISTORY OF THE TRIPLE CROWN

The Triple Crown is undoubtedly the most difficult feat in all of . Only 12 colts have captured the Triple Crown, while 52 others have finished only one win shy of the honor. Sir Barton ’s victories in the 1919 Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes became the starting point for the Triple Crown. However, the phrase “Triple Crown” was not associated with the feat until 1930, when the popular sportswriter Charles Hatton of Daily Racing Form coined the phrase in writing about Gallant Fox ’s victories in the three races. Three Triple Crown champions were produced in the 1930s – Gallant Fox (1930), Omaha (1935) and War Admiral (1937). Gallant Fox sired Omaha, the 1935 winner, and is the only Triple Crown champion to sire a Triple Crown victor. Four Triple Crown champions were crowned during the following decade, beginning with Whirlaway in 1941. He was followed by Count Fleet (1943), Assault (1946) and Citation (1948). Twenty-five years elapsed between Citation and Secretariat , who in 1973 accomplished the feat, smashing records in the Derby and Belmont en route to the prestigious award. In the years leading up to Secretariat’s Triple Crown triumph, many doubted if there would be another Triple Crown winner. The Triple Crown had become more difficult to attain with increased racing across the country and a larger number of produced annually. In 1977, Seattle Slew became the only unbeaten to sweep the Triple Crown, compiling nine consecutive victories including the three jewels of the Triple Crown. Affirmed captured the coveted series a year later to become the 11 th Triple Crown champion. His accomplishment marked the first time the Triple Crown has had winners in successive years. A lengthy 37-year drought that saw 13 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winners fall one-race short in the Belmont Stakes finally ended when Zayat Stables’ homebred American Pharoah led from start to finish on June 6, 2015 to authoritatively win the 147 th “Test of the Champion” by 5 ½ lengths in 2:26.65 – the sixth-fastest Belmont Stakes and second-fastest for a Triple Crown winner since Secretariat set the track record of 2:24 in 1973. “Thirty-seven years we've waited for this but, you know what, this little horse he deserves it,” Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert said. “He's just a great horse and the way he's been all winter and this spring has been incredible.”
